My name is Calypso. I am the goddess of the sea. Odysseus and his ship have washed up on my island after Zeus struck their ship with a lightning bolt in rage. I want to make him my immortal husband so I’m not letting him leave. I love Odysseus and he must stay here until he loves me back.
It is now six years later and Odysseus is still here. We are in love now. I don’t think that he has any intentions of leaving anymore. We have two kids together, their names are Nausithous and Nausinous. Odysseus is happy here with me and he has told me that I am more beautiful than his wife Penelope. He will soon be my husband and we will live here on Ogygia forever.
It’s a year later now and Hermes stopped by today with terrible news. Athena told Zeus that Odysseus was still here and Zeus sent down Hermes, the messenger god, to tell me that Odysseus must leave. I have to let him leave now. Odysseus seems relieved to go and it makes very angry. I think he wanted to go home for quite some time now. I still love Odysseus though, so I’m going to help him fix his ship.
Odysseus left me to go back to Ithaca. I have never been this upset before. He is now on his way home to get back to his wife Penelope. I gave him wine and bread for his long journey home.
